Many people can easily comprehend how to exit a building in normal conditions. But in an emergency situation, like a fire, earthquake, or any other natural disaster, normal tasks suddenly become difficult. A sudden darkness, loss of power, and fire smoke turn everything wickedest.
Therefore, it’s become more important to keep escaping from a building – simple and easy. And glow in the dark exit signs and AODAdirection ground surface indicators are one way of lighting the way to safety.
The Basics of Photoluminescent Exit Signs and Directional Ground Surface Indicators
Photoluminescent
exit signs and directional ground surface indicators are useful technology
for usual or normal exits. They can glow without a dedicated power backup. They
usually absorb the energy of light from normally well-lit surroundings – from a
particular wavelength of light. Its glow diminishes after the charging light
source is removed.
Photoluminescent Signs Charge under Proper Lighting
Photoluminescent
exit signs absorb energy from definite wavelengths of light and emit that
energy over time as it glows. This is what makes photoluminescent exit signs
attractive for safety lighting. These exit signs don’t require any backup
power source to illuminate.
However,
you can’t leave it to chance that photoluminescent AODA directional ground surface
indicators and exit signs will be able to glow when the power goes out. They
have to “charge” inappropriate levels of lighting.
What to Consider During Attention Tactile Indicators Installation?
·
Check
that, when attention
tactile indicators have been installed. The signs will be visible
and legible from their listed viewing distance in the dark.
·
Make
sure that the controls for an emergency exit sign's charging light source are
not publicly accessible. The light source must also not be controlled by motion
detectors or timers.
